dm bio prison v1: improve concurrent IO performance
Split the bio prison into multiple regions, with a separate rbtree and associated lock for each region. To get fast bio prison locking and not damage the performance of discards too much the bio-prison now stipulates that discards should not cross a BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE boundary. Because the range of a key (block_end - block_begin) must not exceed BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE: break_up_discard_bio() now ensures the data range reflected in PHYSICAL key doesn't exceed BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE. And splitting the thin target's discards (handled with VIRTUAL key) is achieved by updating dm-thin.c to set limits->max_discard_sectors in terms of BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE _and_ setting the thin and thin-pool targets' max_discard_granularity to true.
